Here is Amber’s sweet letter about her husband:

I love my husband Ken more than words can convey, and I would love this opportunity to share it with your listeners. Since our small wedding 24 years ago, he’s worn (and loved) a slim, gold wedding band. Like his ring, we show our age more now. We are not as shiny as we once tried to be, we are a little mishapen around the middle, and have some weak spots. He’s not a flashy man, but he deserves more. As an essential worker in the electric department who never missed work during the pandemic and put in crazy hours during the derecho, only to come home to an 85 degree powerless house with storm damage of its own – he never once complained. And he would never complain that his ring has seen better days, nor would he want to spend money on a replacement. This contest is an amazing opportunity to show him how much I appreciate all he does for me, for our family, for his job, and for our community. Every time he looks at it he would be reminded of my true and undying love for him and the fact that I wanted to shout it out to all of Kix country.

UPDATE: Doris was able to get a hold of Amber!!

The List for Thursday, February 19th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

-----

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

-----

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

-----

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.

You can catch The List, this afternoon at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
